On the one hand, Pakistani leaders have been continuously threatening India. Even yesterday, the country's army chief, Munir, had threatened india with nuclear weapons. But today, pakistan has changed its tone. The country's government has made a statement in a way that makes a request to India. Let's see the background to this. Some of the comments made by Pakistani army chief Munir from the united states yesterday were controversial. Munir had said that if india builds a dam in the waters of the indus river, we will destroy it with missiles. He had also spoken in a way that threatens nuclear weapons.
In the meantime, it can be said that pakistan has made a U-turn in one day. pakistan has requested that the Indus Water Treaty be reinstated in the context of India’s suspension. Moreover, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry has stated that pakistan is ready to fully implement the treaty and welcomes the clarification of the international court of Arbitration. Under the Indus Water Treaty, the western rivers Chenab, Jhelum, and Indus will go to Pakistan. However, now that india has stopped the water of the indus river, it has decided to set up hydroelectric projects there. The arbitration court gave a slightly favorable opinion in this regard on august 8. pakistan has welcomed that.

In this regard, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry has urged india to "immediately re-implement the Indus Waters Treaty and fulfill its treaty obligations fully and honestly. india should allow pakistan to use the waters of the western rivers without hindrance. Moreover, the exceptions required for hydropower generation should be in accordance with the treaty. They should not only be in India's favor." In fact, india has never recognized the actions of the arbitration court. After the pahalgam terrorist attack on april 22, india took several steps, including temporarily suspending the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty. india has accused pakistan of supporting the terrorists behind this attack. Since the Indus Waters Treaty itself has been suspended, it is said that there is no need to give importance to the opinion expressed in the case related to it.

On the other hand, pakistan has been continuously threatening India. Not only Munir, but also politician Bilawal Bhutto had spoken threateningly to india a few days ago. He had said that India's actions have caused great damage to pakistan and that all Pakistanis should unite against narendra Modi. pakistan, which had been threatening india until yesterday, has changed its tone today. The main reason for that is the water of the Indus River. The water of the indus river is a major need for many provinces of pakistan, including Punjab. With india suddenly suspending the indus river Treaty, if it is suspended in the future, Pakistan's agriculture may be put in great danger.
